I reinstalled Vanguard this weekend and played probably 12+ hours a day and leveled several characters to lvl 10 on the Isle of Dawn (the new noob/trial area). I have also played and tried EQ2, WoW, Age of Conan and Warhammer and I do have to say Vanguard is by far the best - give itr a shot, it's not the same game it used to be (I played Vanguard for 2-3 months at release). I just logged out of the game (almost 2am PST) and there were 32 players in the trial area (a lot of noobs running around which was a blast)! There were over 60 players today just in the "chunk" (zone area) that I was in. It's the closest thing to EQ I have found.

That being said, I won't ever be quiting EQ cause I have a lot of in game friends and no other game comes close to EQ raiding (so I hear). Just have to make time for 2 games now image
